While speaking to Women's Wrestling Talk on the red carpet for Queen Of The Ring earlier this year, Strickland was asked what actor he would like to see play him in a future movie about his career.

"Oh, that's tough. I would like to have somebody younger than me. But I don't think that person's been on the scene yet. Maybe in the next ten years, that actor will come up and finally be shown. But I think Damson Idris is a tremendously talented actor. He's one of my favorites to watch right now, 100%. So I would say he's one of the top guys, and he's still pretty young enough to do it."

Strickland recently stated that his match with Bryan Danielson at AEW All In 2024 is his favorite match of his career. You can read more about that here.
